Participants may expect to learn the manual alphabet and some vocabulary associated with everyday conversation. There is some emphasis on conversational practice. Students are expected to attend no less than 80% of the course.

Assessment & Certification: Students will receive a certificate of attendance at the end of the course. Students should have at least 80% attendance.
